first day in Berlin

(First Pic) We took the SBahn from Hamburg to Berlin on the 18th. This is me central station in Hamburg waiting for the SBahn. The SBahn is a high speed train which travels at 200km hour (125 miles per hour).

(second pic) We meet with Jorg Schonbohm in our hotel in Berlin. He is the current ministry of the Interior for the state of Brandenburg Germany. He took over as commander in chief of the armed forces of the former Communist East Germany when the soviet union collapsed. He helped to plan Germany's reunification and its role in NATO. It was an honor to meet and sit right next to him while he talked to us about his experiences.

(3rd picture) Brandenburg Gates. Throughout the Cold War the Brandenburg gates were on the east side of Berlin (Communist Germany). They were built during the 1800's.
